Episode He Thought Addiction Had Won | Gio’s Sobriety Story
“I genuinely thought I was a hopeless alcoholic addict with no chance of return.”
That’s where Gio found himself.
After years of success as a hockey player—including a Division I scholarship and a professional career—addiction slowly took over. What started as drinking and partying became something much darker, leading Gio to a gas station parking lot where he finally called his dad and admitted:
“I can’t stop using.”
In this episode, Gio shares his journey through hockey culture, addiction, opiates, losing his identity after hockey, multiple treatment stays, relapse, and how he found hope after believing he was too far gone.
If you’ve ever wondered whether recovery is possible, or felt like you’ve gone too far to change, this episode is for you.
